It has been a very quiet winter for visitors to West India Dock, no doubt due to the on-going building works around the dock.

However we do have an interesting visitor with the arrival of the Marienborgh. The boat is a two-mast schooner that dates back to 1912.

There have been long term plans for boat to be fitted out as a luxurious dining venue.  It was first proposed in 2012 but since then the boat has been to Holland and has been spotted in King George V dock in the Royal docks.

Little is known about the background of the boat or its plans but it has been put up for sale a number of times in the last few years.
